Johnson shifts to austere budget and big poverty push
President Johnson urges a $97.9 billion fiscal 1965 budget with tax cuts to spur growth while trimming defense and other agencies. He promises a compassionate plan targeting poverty, job retraining, and welfare, with defenses and space spending kept but rebalanced. The plan bets on an earlier tax reduction to avert recession, maintains a moon landing goal, and projects a debt rise to $317 billion by June 1965.
